Getting started
Installing the nano-SIM card (included) and a microSDXC card (not included)
The nano-SIM card and the microSDXC card can be installed or removed
while the phone is turned on. You need to unmount the microSDXC card
before removing it (see Connecting to networks and devices – Using the
mircroSDXC card as portable or internal storage).
Note: Your phone will come with the nano-SIM card already installed.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR YOUR SAFETY
Don’t rely on your phone for
emergency communications.
Radio frequency (RF) energy
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certied power
level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF
exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body
with the separation of 0.6 inches (15 mm). Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement
is known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specied in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z965.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is
0.72 W/kg, and for usage near the body is 1.12 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance
of 0.6 inches (15 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this
132 133
FOR YOUR SAFETY
device at least 0.6 inches (15 mm) away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn
operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 0.6 inches (15 mm) between this
device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains
metal, was not tested and certied, and using such body-worn accessory
should be avoided.
FCC regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Hearing aid compatibility (HAC) regulations for mobile phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog
wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or
cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of
electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or
other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI
C63.19- 2011). While some wireless phones are used near some hearing
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed
a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users in nding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing
device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use
a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is
the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of
the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer
wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
134 135
FOR YOUR SAFETY
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies,
consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone
Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Your Z965 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an
M3/T3 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you nd results for your hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing
aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure
that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services,
please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a
breast pocket.
Hearing aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level
of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance
from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may
reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer
to discuss alternatives.
Medical equipment
Turn off your wireless device when you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent
possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY

some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles
unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
